Beschreibung

Colour map in postcard format 11x15cm, titled and labelled in Ottoman Turkish, and printed to the back with publisher's details. Good with minor loss at corners and small chip to right hand edge, not affecting image. Not postally used. Ibrahim Cigiracan (1876-1963) launched his publishing company in Constantinople in 1896. He initially specialised in religious works, diversifying into geography (including atlases), military and history. He published this postcard map as part of a series in the late 1890s to early 1900s to illustrate the Imperial Ottoman Vilayet system. As of 1897 the Vilayet of Syria was divided into four Sanjaks: Damascus, Hama, Hauran and Karak with its capital at Damascus, shown here on a scale of 1:4,000,000. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 4687
